CET deadlock: Pvt colleges stick to stand, govt buys time

By Sridhar VivanSridhar Vivan, Bangalore Mirror Bureau | Jan 4, 2014, 01.00 AM ISTThe CET meeting between state government officials and private college
managements remained inconclusive on Friday. In a meeting attended by higher
education minister, RV Deshpande, and medical education minister, Dr Sharan
Prakash Patil, apart from other government officials, the government reportedly
told private college managements that although the Karnataka Professional
Educational Institutions (Regulation of Admission and Fixation of Fee) Act, 2006
was discussed during the legislative session, the government needed more time to
implement the Act since the members who had framed the bill in 2006 are now
opposing its roll out. Government representatives requested private college
managements to reach a consensual agreement this year and that it will implement
the Act next year.

However, private college managements stuck to their
stand that they were ready to part with seats only if the government agreed to
reimburse full costs. "All the colleges have already submitted their list of
cost per student to the committee constituted by the government. It is now for
the government to decide. We cannot settle for anything less since it will be
detrimental to our existence," M K Panduranga Setty, chief, Karnataka Unaided
Private Engineering Colleges Association (KUPECA), told BM.

Private
college managements emphatically stated that they cannot agree to the old fee
structure. "There is a case on the issue pending in the Supreme Court. Moreover,
the Supreme Court has not ratified the consensual agreement for the last two
years. Unless, these issues are sorted out, we do not want to go ahead," said
members during the meeting. Government representatives said that they would call
for another meeting to discuss the issue further.

Mirror
had reported on Friday how the fee structure had turned out to be
a tough nut for this year's CET (Conundrum to solve ahead of LS polls). While
private college managements are asking for a fee per student ranging from Rs 1.2
lakh to Rs 2.38 lakh per year, the government wanted to work around last year's
engineering fee structure that was around Rs 42,000.

Students meanwhile
are still in the lurch. "There is no clarity on CET as every private college is
coming up with their own entrance tests. If we go on writing multiple tests,
then we end up only writing tests and nothing else," said Anoop S, an
engineering aspirant
